The quality of a scientific paper are not ZERO if citation is zero. Perhaps we need to define two parameters, quality and significance of scientific communication. Quality; a well done research in the best traditions and methods available. Significance; the outreach of the paper to bring effect into others work and others understanding toward the subject matter.

While there will always be a downside to both parameters, citation reflects the significance (and quality as much as it correlated to significance) of a paper. More…

A celebrity is a person who refuses to live by the rules of the world and gets a lot of people to agree to his view points.

The difference from an elite is the elite is necessarily often, richer in the immediate vicinity of his, and is cohesive to groups of such; who live by the same principles as his or at-least pretend to do so ..

I wanted to write this article, separately, as I didn’t want to break the flow of Physics arguments in the article, where this point came up.

This point was originally raised by Feynman; as far as I know. If David Mermin comes, he will stick his cotton buds, and wipe this out, and claim he said it, there is no lack of such incredible people. All he does say in that article, linked here, is so typical of plagiarists that you wouldn’t believe how murkily he dismisses Feynman as the original fellow who might have said so, “he is a great mind calculator, so nobody would ask him to shut up and calculate”.

How about nobody would think “Madonna” is a slut. A beautiful lady in the corner, well nobody would be harsh to her, such harshness would only be toward me, only I would be one to whom such a treatment can be mated, and that would be David Mermin’s famous and infamous proof and evidence of Mathew Effect of which he is apparently a victim.
If, anything, even I knew of “shut up and calculate” in my grad days, as a phrase ascribed to Feynman, in my privacy of studies, in other words never discussed with anyone, but knew of it, and grew in associating this behavioral treatment towards myself, going as far idiosyncratically, even to compare the thickness of my own hair, with Feynman’s, I can’t be Feynman, or can I be? Can “shut up and calculate” be used on any grad student or similarly placed researcher? Yes, it can be and thats the whole message, not the interpretation by the name of the city of Copenhagen.

Which regions are active in my website in the last month. “Active” if at-least 1 or more NEW visitor has accessed the website (non-spammers) on an average for every day, for last 30 days. US gave 777 NEW readers in last 30 days, thats a 26 every day, for 30 days, eg. followed by India: ~250.
Thats 1.5 K (1493 exact) NEW visitors a month. (countries stat decrease and increase and I did not check last month eg, but similar)

Compare to 3.5 K that adds every month on Gravatar. Gravatar is obviously not connected with this stat, it grew rapidly only 6 or 8 months ago. Another 1-1.5 k grows on monthly average on other websites of mine. thats about 6 k every month. More…
